| |||||
| This compact disc might have been called "Toscanini at War," not in allusion to Toscanini's fiery nature but as all of the performances, except of the piece by Barber, stem from recordings made in the United States during the war as part of a program for entertaining the armed forces. All derive from live or broadcast concerts; a number of them when the Musician's Union ban on recording was lifted specifically for the war effort. It may be that in this way we hear Toscanini at his very best, as he detested working within the limitations of recording studios. However, there are certain drawbacks for which, it is hoped, the listener will be understanding. The engineers who made the original recordings had either to turn down the level for certain peaks or allow a degree of overload. Sometimes too, a piece ends very abruptly as the engineers try to cut before the applause starts. Lastly, there are a few coughs, and sometimes Toscanini can be heard gently singing to himself. But few orchestras sizzle like this one. | |||||
